Chapter 1524: Disregard for Rules
Physical torture was not as terrifying compared to immortal spirit torture.
However, the ravages of the unholy spirits inflicted a pain that was a hundred thousand times more unbearable than that of physical injuries.
True pain was endless extreme agony that would never be fatal.
The awareness of Luo Pin watching helplessly outside only added to Wu Yu's pain.
Wu Yu was forced to transform into the Heaven Devouring Titanic Beast under such relentless torture. He was forced to reveal his true self.
And his true self was infinite devouring.
He grabbed an unholy spirit, tore it into two and gobbled it. Within seconds, the unholy spirit was chewed into shreds.
And then swallowed in a gulp.
The instant the unholy spirit hit his stomach, it felt like he had swallowed a bundle of flames. Wu Yu had never devoured such a violent restless existence before.
That burning energy wreaked havoc in his stomach and almost tore Wu Yu apart from inside.
However, Wu Yu was already forced into a desperate situation. The pain in his stomach was the least of his concerns. It was minor compared to the torture these unholy spirits inflicted on his body outside.
Besides, Wu Yu had never feared anything that he had devoured, no matter how explosive his meal would have been!
Now he instinctively digested whatever that he had devoured without any regard for the aftermath.
Anyway, the pain being inflicted on his body had surpassed the pain that was threatening to tear his body apart from within. But even if he had digested a little bit of the unholy spirit and grasped its energy as his own, these were vigorous unruly energy.
These were unholy spirits that the Mighty Miracle God had kept for countless years. The energy that they bore within them were equivalent to an extremely strong immortal king.
And these energy that Wu Yu had digested spread throughout his body and quickly turned into his own strength. Vibrant life force surged through Wu Yu's body and instantly, revitalised his torn physical body. His heavily injured body recovered at a terrifying speed during the digestion process.
Wu Yu's speed of digestion and recovery was even faster than the unholy spirits' devouring of Wu Yu.
It was this turn of the tables that gave Wu Yu hope of easing the torture! This was definitely an unexpected gain for Wu Yu in such a desperate situation! He quickly grabbed the other unholy spirits who were tearing into him and stuffed them into his mouth hastily!
He had eaten another unholy spirit!
He was not afraid that this unholy spirit would stretch the limits of his appetite. Anyway, his own energy would be depleted by the rampage from the other unholy spirits.
"What is going on!"
The eternal immortal emperors outside saw the truth of what was happening quickly. They saw that Wu Yu had turned the tables and actually started devouring the unholy spirits instead. Also, he seemed to possess some astonishing recovery rate. At least it seemed like this torture did not really inflict much pain on Wu Yu!
He was supposed to suffer from being torn apart, first physically and then spiritually. However, his physical body had yet to be truly torn apart. The unholy spirits had no way of reaching his immortal spirit.
This way, there was no way to inflict extreme pain on Wu Yu.
So the goal of punishing Wu Yu did not seem to be reached.
"This person seems to have a devouring ability. What kind of creature is he to have such an ability!"
"Devouring is just one of the abilities he has. He can actually gain the devoured strength and use it as his own. That is the crucial part. While this will not aid his understanding of cultivation realm, it is already shocking enough that this will allow him to recover his physical strength and realm of immortal spirit power."
"It is really rare to see such a devouring ability, and one that can turn another's strength into his own."
The eternal immortal emperors were surprised at this discovery.
But they actually did not know that Wu Yu's devouring could do more. He could strip his opponent's dao and memories as well. This was the most powerful aspect of his devouring ability. In fact, he could even impart these gains.
The Hundred Years, Thousand Time talisman had never existed. It was a pity that these eternal immortal emperors would never even imagine such a possibility.
On the other hand, the Mighty Miracle God felt humiliated as he watched Wu Yu devouring his unholy spirits instead. If he allowed Wu Yu to continue, then perhaps within this short period of time, he could never truly punish Wu Yu!
He frowned and knew that he could never allow this to continue.
Hence, with a flash, the Mighty Miracle God entered the Unholy Spirit Abyss and appeared near Wu Yu. He glared at Wu Yu and forced Wu Yu into suppression again!
He was an elite eternal immortal emperor and with just a glance, he could force Wu Yu into a frozen state!
Previously, it was also because of the Mighty Miracle God's carelessness that granted Wu Yu his chance of survival.
Mighty Miracle God would not make the same mistake twice. His gaze immobilized Wu Yu and naturally, this meant that Wu Yu could no longer grab onto the unholy spirits and devour them. Wu Yu was immobilized now. He could only endure the pain from the unholy spirits' devouring as though he was hit with the Fixed Body Art.
He had thought that he could reverse the situation but he knew that there would be no way that the Mighty Miracle God would allow him to do that publicly.
However, it was because of this surprising turn of events that the Beiyin Necropolis Grand Emperor chuckled and asked: "Mighty Miracle God, aren't your unholy spirits too useless? They were devoured instead by that rascal. Within this 1000 years you still have to be on guard that he doesn't suppress your unholy spirits. Isn't that just creating trouble for yourself?"
Mighty Miracle God answered coldly: "I can just use an epochal immortal design and immobilize him. A small matter. You don't have to worry about it."
No matter what, he wanted to be the first to torture Wu Yu.
As long as Wu Yu could not move, then the devouring from the unholy spirits would be terrifying. Now he was in the physical form of the Heaven Devouring Titanic Beast and surrounded by unholy spirits. These unholy spirits were beings with no intellect. They simply tore into him and pulled out pieces of his flesh.
Wu Yu was once again overcome with the pain of his physical body being torn apart.
And this time he could not move. The pain was multiplied.
The audience outside knew that he was doomed now.
"That's pitiful."
"Well, who told him to be so daring and offend those eternal immortal emperors."
"That's the price he has to pay."
"He has to pay for his recklessness. He has no background and yet he dreams of getting the 10th Grade Mark of an Immortal King. Such a joke."
"This is karma. He is getting what he deserved."
"He asked for this. The joy he felt when he killed Gu Huo Immortal Lord is now replaced by regret."
"Look at Luo Pin's expression, ha... ..."
Wu Yu had just lost his last hope of reversing his situation. He was once again suppressed and obviously in a hopeless state.
Many people felt chills down their spine as they witnessed Wu Yu's pathetic state. Almost all of the mystical dragons and guests were terrified when they think of how Wu Yu would be torutred in this way until he finally dies.
After this happened, no matter how many years have passed, no one would dare to offend an eternal immortal emperor anymore. People would not even dare to hurt a hair of these eternal immortal emperors' descendants.
Wu Yu's punishment was a warning to others. He was the first to be punished in a long history. Countless people would warn their descendants of this precedence.
"Is there no other way... ..." Actually Luo Pin was also praying. She was hoping for a slim chance to turn the situation around. As long as he could escape, he could take another identity and no one would be able to find Wu Yu anymore.
But this opportunity did not seem to exist.
Eternal immortal emperors were eternal immortal emperors.
Mighty Miracle God calmly ordered his unholy spirits to slowly tear into Wu Yu's flesh and pierce into his immortal spirit!
At this point, Wu Yu was in extreme pain. You could say that he had experienced all that life had to offer.
Through the pain, Wu Yu felt as though he had been thrown into an outsider's seat as he watched these visages of life flash past him.
Even so, his blood still flowed hot and his eyes were still charged with fiery red determination.
"Cultivation is plunder. Only the strong can exact justice."
"Order is determined by the eternal immortal emperors. They proclaim themselves to be heaven! They are the heavenly rules and restrictions!"
"They, their children, and their pride are sacred and inviolable!"
"They control everything, to the end of time."
"But why. Why should they be in control yet I do not have the chance to breakthrough and rise above them?"
"Nothing is impossible. Nothing is unbreakable. If nothing changes, then I shall destroy everything!"
"One day, I, Wu Yu, will rebuild order! I shall change everything!"
He roared in his heart.
"Every being here today! As long as I survive, I shall return and overthrow order! I shall forge my own world!"
"As long as I survive! Survive! Survive!"
"Dao calamities, trials and tribulations. They are just training and challenges for me, no matter how terrifying they are! I have to desire such challenges and tests!"
"These will not scare me nor beat me down! As long as I survive, I shall become stronger. My injuries now will only add to my future strength!"
He took a look at his torn and tattered body.
And burst out laughing.
He suddenly recalled that what he should be doing was Visualizing the Inner Ape. Visualizing the Inner Ape would let him see the Unparalleled Monkey King, the Great Sage, Heaven's Equal!
The Great Sage, Heaven's Equal would lead the way for Wu Yu!
He would know which route to take for the future!
Wu Yu was excited to think of Visualizing the Inner Ape in this painful torture. He instantly entered the state and all torture was sunk into a world of flames. He forgot all pain because he saw the huge Unparalleled Monkey King inside the raging golden flames. He was proud and wild with disregard for the rules. He rushed to the sky wielding the Ruyi Jingu Bang and stirred the heavens, turning it upside down!
"If the sky yearns to destroy my physical body, I shall pierce through the sky!"
"If the ground troubles my spirit, I shall smash it to pieces!"
"The Gods, Buddhas, hellish Ghostly immortals, and I shall mind our own business. But if the heavenly rules imprisons me, if the heavenly restrictions orders me, I shall turn this world upside down and break all the forbidden rules of the sky palaces!"
"I disregard all rules, I fear no restrictions! But I shall have a clear mind and conscience!"
These words were like bells ringing loud and long in Wu Yu's heart.
"Great Sage, Heaven's Equal!"
Wu Yu saw his dominance, his pride, his persistence, and his wildness. There was nothing in this world, not even the gods, who could suppress him. And he was born to break rules and order.
"The heaven is dead, a new heaven will rise!"
"If law is no more and pests run amok, if the world is in chaos and invaders are at the doorstep, then it is the day that I, the Heaven's Equal, shall fight!"
Every word rang in Wu Yu's heart and almost made him forget that he was being tortured.
In fact, when he suddenly opened his eyes, he saw that he was glowing with golden light and he managed to shake the unholy spirits off him. In front of him, a golden pole stood tall inside the Unholy Spirit Abyss. Opposite him, the Mighty Miracle God was in shock!
That was the Ruyi Jingu Bang!
